Registrar Training

The Practice considers clinical training to be very important and has been approved as a GP Registrar training practice. The registrars are qualified doctors with at least 2 years experience who are training in general practice. The registrars will have their own appointments under the supervision of one of our regular GPs. Our current registrars are Dr Kimberley Ashton, and Dr Suzanne Linsdall.

Medical Students

We are an approved practice for medical students to gain experience in general practice. If your doctor has a student with them the receptionist and doctor will inform you. You will be given the opportunity to see the doctor alone if you prefer.

Community Nurses

The District Nursing Team provides skilled nursing care and support to people at home and in other community settings.

The team works with GPs, Community and Adult Care Services, Private Care Agencies and many other health care professionals to enable housebound people achieve maximum independence.

Once your health is improved or you are no longer housebound, you will be asked to make an appointment with one of the Practice Nurses if you need to continue nursing treatments.
